So, after a few years I’ve finally fixed up the disaster that was the fuel filter.
Seems the previous mechanic had broken the fuel line and/or rounded off the flare nut under the filter – and thought a good solution would be just to slide some hose over the pipe and hose clamp the heck out of it.
So, I finally took it all apart, bought a flaring kit, got the whole assembly down next to the firewall, bought $80ish of fittings and hoses, attached it to the $60ish filter and spent $30 on some 3mm aluminium sheeting to make a new bracket up.
It’s all sitting pretty tight now, about 2cm higher than it was before, but very tight, and no leaks.
Real relief to have that done.
Busted up naked end to the fuel pressure line
New filter, braided line and fittings
Old filter with hose and clamps
New filter test fitting - haven't put the bracket on yet or turned it around etc
